/etc/resolv.conf
The /etc/resolv.conf file configures the nameserver used to look up DNS data. A typical system contains a search line to specify the local domain. It also contains up to three nameserver lines to configure nameservers. Because we are setting up a local caching nameserver only one entry is needed. The 0.0.0.0 entry specifies that the nameserver on the local host will be contacted for DNS lookups.
